Currently seeking advice on appropriateness of these as EQAO anchor charts.

Having read through the GUIDELINES FOR CLASSROOM DISPLAYS there is a lack of clarity.  Having e-mailed info@eqao.com the only official advice has stated:

“As per the definition on the EQAO website, materials that can be displayed include graphic organizer templates that include only titles or headings but do not contain explicit guidance on how to complete the graphic organizer (e.g., sentence starters). If the graphic organizer you would like to use does not contain content such as sentence starters or examples, it can be displayed.”

Neither of the examples below contain specific examples, or sentence starts.  However, there is a lot of information communicated (albeit, the information is similar to the Paragraph Response examples from the Guidelines for Classroom Displays. )

To ensure we are complying with requirements, I am seeking clarification as to the appropriateness of these classroom displays.
